An experiment was conducted in faculty of Education for Girls/Kufa University during the year of 2013 to determine the effect of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in (150,100,50,0)ppm concentrations and addition methods( seed soaking and plants spray) and their combinations treatment between them on some of the physiological and anatomical sides of spinach and chard leaves.
The results revealed that (NAA) in all concentrations caused significant increase(p<0.05) in all physiological and anatomical parameters ,such as leaf area ,chlorophyll content,leaf numbers, stomata length and width, compared with control treatment .
The plants treated by soaking and spray methods in (100ppm) concentration gave the highest rates in most studied parameters.
